Network applications and services need to be environment-aware in order to meet non-functional requirements in increasingly dynamic contexts. In this paper we consider partition a...
Passing messages through shared memory plays an important role on symmetric multiprocessors and on Clumps. The management of concurrent access to message queues is an important as...
List-based priority schedulers have long been one of the dominant classes of static scheduling algorithms. Such heuristics have been predominantly based around the "critical ...
This paper presents our work on the static task scheduling model using the mean-field annealing (MFA) technique. Mean-field annealing is a technique of thermostatic annealing that...
Abstract. In order to escape from local optima, it is standard practice to periodically restart a genetic algorithm according to some restart criteria/policy. This paper addresses ...
